2 Comparative Survival Study Initiated in 1996 by states, tribes & USFWS to estimate survival rates at various life stages Assess effects of hydrosystem operations on wild and hatchery salmon & steelhead in Snake & Columbia rivers PATH can transportation compensate for effects of the FCRPS? NPCC need to collect annual migration characteristics, including survival NOAA biological opinions require research, monitoring and evaluation Management-oriented large-scale monitoring Observational study Aligned with basin-wide monitoring needs (RME)

3 Decline in Snake R. Chinook & steelhead associated with dams dams

4 Dramatic changes in outmigration conditions with dams marine conditions were not static Need to account for both

5 Linking SARs and Life Cycle Survival Rates SARs to meet NMFS (interim) survival and recovery criteria (2000 BiOp)* 2% SAR - meets long-term (100 yr) survival 4% SAR - meets (48 yr) recovery 6% SAR - meets short-term (24 yr) survival 2-6% SAR objectives (ave. 4% SAR; NPCC 2009) Evaluate SARs in face of varying ocean conditions Adapt freshwater management actions (tributaries & FCRPS) Other goals: population viability, broad-scale recovery, sustainable fisheries, etc. *Marmorek et al PATH FY98 Final Report

6 Linking survival rates and hydrosystem conditions Spawners & recruits Long time series (start before full FCRPS impacts) 18 Snake River & 3 John Day River Chinook populations Contrast in river & ocean conditions SARs Long time series, Snake River wild Chinook & steelhead Comparative Survival Study PIT tag SARs ( precision): Snake River wild & hatchery Chinook & steelhead John Day River wild Chinook and steelhead In-river survival rates Transport to in-river SAR ratios (TIRs) Differential delayed mortality of transported smolts (D) Increased detection sites Court-ordered spill program (2006+ contrast in river conditions)

7 Assessing hydrosystem mortality Recent CSS analyses: Estimate hydrosystem effects with & without using reference populations Differential mortality (8 vs. 3 dam) Hydro-related delayed mortality (in ocean) CSS PIT tag data increased precision, overall SARs & by passage route, isolate mechanisms Examine multiple lines of evidence consistent results? Long-term (1950s or 60s) & recent (PIT tag) data sets Spawner-recruit, SAR, marine survival rate data sets Analyze with & without reference populations

8 Data Long time series of annual Spawner/Recruit and SARs CSS PIT-tag SARS for multiple cohorts per year Partitioned into life-stage survival rates BO N TD A JD A MC N IHR LMN LGS LG R In-river survival - S H Marine survival S OA SAR

9 Spawner-recruit spatial contrast Treatment = Snake populations (3 dams 8 dams) Reference = John Day populations (2 dams 3 dams) Snake R. Chinook populations survived ¼ to 1/3 as well as reference populations since FCRPS completion (differential mortality) John Day Snake e.g., Schaller et al. 1999; Deriso et al. 2001; Schaller & Petrosky 2007

10 SAR spatial contrast ( Precision-PIT tags) Treatment = Snake aggregate (8 dams) Reference = John Day aggregate (3 dams) Snake Chinook populations survived ¼ to 1/3 as well as reference populations John Day Same result as spawner & recruit analysis Snake e.g., Schaller & Petrosky 2007; CSS 2011 annual

11 Temporal Analyses Influence of river & ocean conditions on survival rates Long time series: Pre & post Snake River dam completion Survival rates for different life stages (SR residuals, SARs, marine survival) Variables for ocean conditions & river conditions during seaward migration CSS PIT tags Survival rates for different life stages (increased precision) Variables for ocean & river conditions For different life stages & species - evaluate ocean & river conditions that explain variation in survival rates (temporal) Temporal contrasts to estimate FCRPS impacts - differential and delayed hydrosystem mortality

12 Factors examined temporal analysis Hatchery Seasonality Hatchery % Julian day Freshwater Ocean Percent spill Powerhouse passages Spillway surface passage Water transit time (WTT) Near shore (Upwelling, SST, spring transition) Broad scale (PDO) Inriver surviv al Marine survival rates, SARs, & SR residuals Conducted multiple linear regressions between environmental factors and survival rates using multimodel inference tools

13 Candidate River Variables Water travel time (Lewiston BON Dam): 2 days pre-dam days (19 day ave.) post-dam In-river migrants now pass through: up to 8 powerhouses up to 4 turbines depending on spill Collection and transport: 25% - 99% of smolts transported ( ) Mean daily maximum temperature Snake River mean maximum temperature at Lewiston 9.9 to 13.2C Petrosky & Schaller 2010

14 Candidate Ocean Variables Broad scale: Pacific Decadal Oscillation Near shore: Coastal Upwelling Spring Transition Near shore Temp.

15 Multiple Regression Chinook spawner-recruit Ocean & River important Best fit, simplest models - low survival associated with: Warm PDO Reduced upwelling Increased powerhouse passages Top models Slow WTT Increased proportion transported SARs & marine survival showed similar results as SR resids Chinook & steelhead ( )

18 Marine survival is not independent of freshwater survival through FCRPS (CSS PIT tags) Steelhead Chinook Marine survival Logit (S OA ) Marine survival Logit (S OA ) Logit (S H ) In-river survival Logit (S H ) In-river survival Haeseker et al. 2012

19 Hydro-related Delayed Mortality Defined as mortality that occurs in marine environment as result of FCRPS experience Effect of increased Hydrosystem Development > 5 fold decline in Chinook recruitment success (SR resids.) > 3 fold decline in Chinook marine survival rate > 2 fold decline in steelhead marine survival rate Evidence of Hydro-related Delayed Mortality Consistency in estimates of delayed mortality from multiple data sets and analytical approaches Long-term & recent data sets spawner/recruit, SAR, marine survival, w/ or w/o reference populations CSS 2011 Workshop

20 Bypass events influence ocean survival? smolts BON adults TD A JDA MCN IHR LMN LGS LG R

21 Bypass events influence ocean survival? Logistic regression Yearling Chinook and steelhead, MYs Individual passage histories - # bypasses and where bypassed BON SAR smolt JDA MC IHR LMN LGS LGR N Smolt Smolt Smolt BON adult CSS 2010 annual report

22 Spring/summer Chinook salmon Each bypass event reduced post-bon SARs by 10% Steelhead Each Snake bypass event reduced post-bon SARs by 9% Each McNary or John Day bypass event reduced post-bon SARs by 20% Management implications Direct and route-specific juvenile survival estimates unlikely to reflect full impacts of passage routes Actions that reduce powerhouse passage (bypass + turbine) expected to increase SARs CSS 2010 annual report

23 CSS 2011 Workshop retrospective conclusions The evidence presented for delayed mortality arising from earlier experience in the hydrosystem is strong and convincing. It is difficult to imagine how [other factors] would align so well both in time and space with the establishment of the Conclusions retrospective analyses River conditions during seaward migration have strong influence on survival rates at later life stages Hydrosystem is a key factor influencing delayed mortality multiple methods, independent data consistent results NPCC 2%-6% SAR goal extremely difficult to achieve without major changes to seaward migration conditions in the mainstem Especially in face of climate change (e.g. warming & increased variability in ocean conditions)

24 CSS 2011 Workshop Prospective analyses Prospective analyses synthesize the retrospective work in a manner that may be useful in a variety of applications in the region. Workshop Question How can we use recent analyses to build tools that evaluate and optimize FCRPS operations to meet established NPCC objectives for listed Snake and upper Columbia River salmon and steelhead SARs? What conditions would achieve SAR objectives? Testable hypotheses Management experiments

25 1) How do changes in juvenile and ocean survival rates influence SARs? Which juvenile survival values (if any) achieve 4% average SARs? BON LGR S H S OA SAR

26 Haeseker et al Positive correlations between juvenile & ocean survival rates High Chinook salmon Ocean survival Low 30% 70% Low Juvenile survival High

27 Approach Allow juvenile survival to vary between 5% and 95% Simulate ocean survival rate using regression with observed variability Calculate mean SAR associated with each juvenile survival rate

28 Hypothesized response Chinook salmon High Ocean survival Low 5% 95% Low Juvenile survival High

29 Chinook salmon Simulations: Chinook & steelhead: predicted SARs ~ 4% at juvenile survival > 85% SAR obs. Steelhead SAR obs. Juvenile

30 Chinook salmon Reasonable predictions? Supported by data from other populations above fewer dams SAR SAR Snake R. (8 dams) Yakima R. (4 dams) Steelhead John Day R. (3 dams) John Day R. (3 dams) Yakima R. (4 dams) Snake R. (8 dams) Juvenile

31 2) What operations might achieve 85% juvenile survival rates?

32 Approach Used model-averaged coefficients for in-river survival regressions Held WTT and spill percentages at fixed levels Calculated expected mean juvenile survival rates In-river survival Observed Predicted Haeseker et al.

33 Projected in-river survival Chinook salmon Spring flow levels Steelhead Spring flow levels

34 3) What operations might achieve SARs averaging 4%?

35 Approach Used model-averaged coefficients for SAR regressions Maintained historical patterns in ocean conditions ( ) Held WTT and spill percentages at fixed levels Calculated expected mean SAR SAR Observed Predicted Haeseker et al.

36 Projected SAR Chinook salmon Spring flow levels Steelhead Spring flow levels

37 Conclusions Prospective Analyses Snake River simulations and data from other stocks both indicate that juvenile survival rates need to be > 85% to achieve 4% SAR goals. Juvenile models indicate that spill levels of 55-60% may achieve 85% juvenile survival across a range of flow conditions. SAR models indicate that spill levels of 55-60% may achieve the 4% SAR goal under a similar series of ocean conditions. Analyses highlight need for active Adaptive Management experiments. Existing/enhanced PIT releases provide monitoring framework for testing predictions.
